Collecting Old Niolins.

has been forgotten or neglected by an unap-

Dead Capital in Farm Fences.

1t is said that the amount of dead capital
invested in farm fences in the United States
alone reaches the immense aggregate of S.
OO0, 900, 600, and that the construction of new
fences and the renewal Of old ones involves
an outlay of no less than 500, 100000 ANN
ally. 1t is difficult to fix an approximate
idea of what immense sums as these repre-
sent, but some conception of this enormou:
investment may be formed upon the fact that
it nearly equals the capital stock of all the
railroads of the country, while the annual
exeense almost parellels the entire revenue of
the national government-Chicago Times.

BRowNsDALE, MIMI, Dec. g. 1887.
To the Editors of the TRANSCRIPT:
After week of very inclement weather
we are now..enjoying comfortable sun
shine, which makes every one feel bene-
flied. Last week. as announced in the
TRANSCRIPT, the ladies here held very
successful and pleasant fair and supper.
Strange to say, it was the first fair ever
held in this town. Our Austin friends
are in advance of us there, but as to sue.
cess we did admirably we'll; easily dispos-
ing of our fancy goods. In spite of two
very stormy evenings we took in about
$1,000 We were sorry the weather was
so cold as to prevent our Austin friends
from attending as we are sure they would
have been well repaid.
On Monday, November 25th, the house
of Mrs. Minor was burned to the ground
The furniture was all saved and the family
moved into vacant house belonging to
Mrs. Webb But they did not escape
without afflictlon. for Mrs. Minor has
been sick ever since from the excitement
and this morning the baby died, it having
taken cold the day of the fire. The
funeral will take place tomorrow at ten
o'clock, at the First Baptist church.
Tomorrow evening we are anticipating
q good lecture from Prof. A. R. Cornwall,
Of Minneapolis. We hope there will be
good attendance, although there was
no notice given out at Sunday service.
